about
A fist-shaking garage rock protest anthem from the dark 1968 exploitation film "Wild In The Streets".
Impressed by the song's rabble-rousing fury, Thee Dirtybeats began performing "Shape of Things To Come" live in 2009, just ahead of the rise of Occupy Wall Street and Arab Spring.
"Shape of Things To Come" was a formative influence on Andras. It was the first song he ever performed live, with his first band The Wiretappers. He was 12.

lyrics (B.Mann/C.Weil):
"There's a new sun rising up angry in the sky.
There's a new voice crying but not afraid to die.
Let the old world make believe it's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come!
There are changes lying ahead on every road.
There are new thoughts ready and waiting to explode.
When tomorrow is today, the bells will toll for some.
But nothing can change the shape of things to come!
The future's coming on sweet and strong,
And no-one's gonna hold it back for long!
There are new dreams crowding out old realities.
There's revolution sweeping in like a fresh new breeze.
Let the old world make believe it's blind and deaf and dumb,
But nothing can change the shape of things to come!"
